Rules:1. If a Pokemon Faints, put it permanently in the "Dead" box.2. You can only catch/recieve the first Pokemon in each Area.3. No Dupes Clause with a twist. The no dupes only applies for the first 2 Pokemon you encounter. If the third is a duplicate, too bad. However, you CAN catch dupes if you want.4. You must nickname all of your Pokemon.5. No catching legendaries. 6. Trading is disallowed, but the reasons following this clause are allowed. Egg trading is okay, same thing with Pokemon that can't have eggs. Trading simply for the purpose of evolution is perfectly OK.7. When your whole party faints, it's game over.

After defeating Bugsy, Kira heads to Ilex Forest and battles Silver again. After losing, Silver vents about his abusive, power-obsessive father, Giovanni. His father has made him feel weak - all he wants is to be strong. Kira then says how he barely knew his father - he left when he was very young, and his mother didn't truly care for him. There was only one person who really cared for him, but she eventually left too.

After this talk, Kira and Silver move on and meet up with Kris and the mysterious man in Ilex Forest. After some awkward pleasantries, the four of them decide it would be best to travel through the forest in a group (Silver begrudgingly agrees). They soon happen upon Celebi at her shrine. Without any introduction, Celebi says that she trusts the four of them enough to take them into the future, stating that now is the time to take action. Without their consent, she takes them into the future, at a point where Mewtwo is present in the forest. Celebi, unable to directly cause this much influence herself, lends Kira her power, and he kills Mewtwo as he is caught unawares. They are then immediately taken back to the present.

As soon as this happens, though, Kira has another vision/dream. Much like the last one, he is again trapped in a test tube. But this time, he looks at his hand and sees that it is human...somewhat. He then looks up, and in the glass's reflection he sees a face he doesn't recognize yet at the same time seems oddly familiar.

After waking up, Kira describes the dream he just had. The mystery man says he isn't sure what to make of it, but it still seems he is hiding something. The topic then moves to the events that transpired in the future. Kira swears that he heard someone cry out as he was attacking Mewtwo. Silver and Kris, and even Kira and the mystery man question who it was that Kira just killed. Kira says that the Mewtwo he killed looked very different from the Mewtwo he knew (although the reader doesn't know WHAT he looked like). More importantly, Kira wonders if it's all over now - he killed Mewtwo didn't he? The mystery man says it's not that simple. Kira killed the future Mewtwo, but the present Mewtwo is of course still at large. He says that time travel is a complete mystery to him - it could be possible that the future they traveled to may not even come to pass, so they must not act as if the problem will sort itself out.

Silver and Kris, now knowing what they are dealing with, go their own separate ways. The mystery man decides that he should continue traveling with Kira. Kira starts nicknaming him Zero just to make things easier. (aka: I'm just gonna call him that to make things easier xD ) Zero looks a bit miffed at this but rolls with it.

Part 2

Kira catches a drowzee named Anna on the route before Goldenrod. Meanwhile Venom is forced to become the cut "slave" for the team. Kira is apprehensive about battling Goldenrod's gym leader. Zero and Kira's team ask him why, and at first he refuses to answer, saying it's not because of his miltank. After some pestering (mostly on Venom's part) Kira finally gives in and says it's because the gym leader's daughter is his ex. Dumbfounded, the rest of them listen as Kira explains that he and Whitney used to date when they lived in Twinleaf Town. This went on for a year, but then her father was offered a job as Goldenrod's gym leader, through some connections. She moved to Johto to work with her father. Whitney and Kira continued communicating at first, but eventually he just stopped hearing from her.

But seeing no other option, Kira decides to take on the gym anyway. Unfortunately Rhythm is killed in a battle against one of the trainers due to a critical hit slash. After burying Rhythm and shaken a bit by this loss, Kira simply decides to move on this time and not get hampered by obstacles. Kira is shocked to discover that Whitney is the one he'll be battling. Whitney is equally surprised to see Kira. As they battle, Whitney explains that she became more and more involved with her work at the gym - she is temporarily taking her father's place right now, but soon she may even take on a full time job as gym leader (her father is considering taking a position at Petalburg's gym...I bet you've figured out who he is now). She apologizes for cutting contact with Kira, explaining that she just became too engrossed in her work. Kira calls her out on her excuse, so she tells him it was really because she didn't think the relationship would work with the distance - and she couldn't bring herself to break up with Kira so she just stopped keeping in touch.

As for the actual battle, Sammy easily defeated the clefairy. Sparks had some trouble with miltank but eventually managed to win. Sammy tries to win favor with Sparks by complimenting her on her victory. She doesn't seem to react as he'd expected, so he just comes out and asks, somewhat rudely, if she wants to get together with him. At this point, Sammy has already made several advances on Sparks (due to some advice from Venom, Sammy has become increasingly overconfident since his battle with Bugsy), so she yells at him and tells him to just drop it. Sammy, now angry with her, decides that he doesn't need her.

As this is happening, Kira asks Whitney if she'd be willing to give it another chance. She says she isn't sure, and Kira doesn't inquire any further. He still hasn't completely forgiven her for leaving him, but he tells himself again to just move on.

Part 3

After the gym battle, Kura asks if she could get a haircut, knowing the famous haircut brothers are in Goldenrod. (I actually did give Kura some haircuts to boost her happiness.) So they go to Goldenrod's underground, which is also where Rocket happens to store some of their stolen pokemon. Rex's enhanced hearing allows him to hear Kira and the team close by. Determined to reunite with his friends, Rex evolves and breaks out of his cage. Kira and the team are happy to see Rex return to them, but this is cut short as Rocket grunts show up, intending to take him back. Kira starts to call upon Sammy to help, but Rex says he can handle it. Kira, a little shocked to see and hear Rex fully grown and talking, lets him battle for himself. In a moment of sheer badassery, Rex single-handedly takes down all of the Rockets' pokemon, forcing them to retreat. Afterward, in a heartwarming moment, the team welcomes back their once lost comrade, who now officially joins the team.

Part 4

At some point before Goldenrod, I gave Sammy charcoal. Since I haven't brought it up yet, here's what he looks like with it. I've also included other various sketches, including Whitney and Rex's appearance as a Nidorino.

In-game, I caught Rex as a nidoran on the route after Goldenrod and evolved him soon after. A wild stantler managed to kill Anna with stomp. After going back to Goldenrod to bury her, Kira met up with Bill again, who gave him an eevee named Fang. He gave him a soothe bell, which he ditched as soon as he evolved into an espeon. Kura evolved as well, in Mt. Mortar. After leveling up immediately after, she evolved again into crobat.

Part 5

Kira and Zero arrive in Ecruteak City and run into Silver, who challenges Kira to a battle. Silver brings them to the burned Brass Tower - the site of the revival of the three legendary beasts - as the location of their battle. (My catch here was a Koffing I didn't end up using.) Kira easily defeats Silver, but before they turn to leave, Silver calls out Mewtwo's name. Mewtwo appears in front of Kira and Zero and pushes them through the floor to the basement level. Just as he is about to attack, the three legendary beasts come to defend them. Mewtwo flees, realizing that fighting these three legendaries will take too much of a toll on his power.

Kira asks Silver why he would side with Mewtwo. Silver simply leaves without saying a word. A flashback shows Lance approaching Silver (who is shocked to see the champion). He offers Silver a deal (toying with his insecurities about strength and his losses to Kira) - he will give Silver power such that none can defeat him, and a team to accommodate this power. Silver asks him, "In exchange for what?", at which point Lance transforms into Mewtwo and says, "You will help me attain immortality." Silver is taken aback by this, but after Mewtwo reawakens memories of his abusive father, Silver accepts the deal.

Cutting to Kira and Zero again, Kris arrives at Brass Tower and helps the two of them out of the broken-down site. Kira explains to Kris what happened and wonders out loud why Mewtwo would decide to attack them now. Zero says, "It's because he's figured out who I am. It's time you learned the truth - the truth about Mewtwo, and the truth about me. Your pokemon may want to hear this as well." Kira and Kris release their pokemon and wait intently for Zero to speak. Kira says he has a feeling he already knows who Zero is. Zero starts by pulling back his hood and revealing his identity...

Part 6

Kira, seeing Zero clearly and without any sort of disguise this time, recognizes the person before him as L, his eccentric rival from Sinnoh. "You weren't that great at disguising your voice" Kira says. L responds, "If you knew it was me, how come you never said anything?" "To be honest, I was really doubting it, but now I know for sure," Kira replies, "Still, I've got to say this is quite a shocker. No offense, but how did YOU end up becoming a mysterious know-it-all guy?" Before L can explain anything, Kira realizes he hasn't introduced him to Kris. L introduces himself and explains what happened.

"See, Mewtwo attacked us because he figured out who I am. And I'm a threat to him," L says, "I know his weakness - that he's human." He starts explaining that after Kira traveled to Kanto, he heard about this and decided to go there as well. L met up with Green Oak, but Mewtwo appeared before the both of them, going off about how they would make excellent puppets. L sent out his pokemon to attack, but Mewtwo slaughtered all of them. L, traumatized by this experience, was left standing helplessly as Mewtwo walked up to him. At this point, though, Mewtwo began losing control of his newfound powers and - intending to take L's memories - accidentally shared his memories with L. Green interfered, and Mewtwo ended up taking on his identity instead, erasing Green's memory in the process.

Mewtwo, inhabiting Green's body and having only Green's memories and not his own, ran away in shock. Meanwhile L was left traumatized even further by things he saw from Mewtwo's mind, and the real Green was left with amnesia. From then on, L adopted a much more solemn attitude and, without the knowledge that Mewtwo lost his own memories, decided that he and Green had to reform their teams while they think of a plan to stop Mewtwo. (It should be noted that since this happened AFTER Kira arrived in Kanto, the Green that Kira saw at Oak's lab was actually the real Green.)

L then explains that he had to keep his identity hidden, even to Kira, otherwise Mewtwo would have hunted him down and killed him for having the knowledge that he has. Kira then asks, hesitantly, what L saw in Mewtwo's mind. L reveals that first off, Mewtwo is not a clone of mew, but a fusion of man and pokemon. He was an experiment by Rocket - a man infused with the DNA of the pokemon mew. They were hoping to create the perfect hybrid, but what they ended up with was a mad, intelligent, power-hungry beast. Kira asks who the man was, and L says that he didn't recognize him. But he then goes on to explain that Mewtwo's humanity is his weakness. The human half of him cannot hold the immense power of the pokemon half - thus his powers are not permanent, and he will soon die if he uses them too much. In addition, he does not possess the fainting defense mechanism that all pokemon have - if he takes too much damage in battle, he will die. L says this could possibly explain why Kira's pokemon have the same characteristic.

"This is good," Kira says, "The three of us can definitely put a stop to him then! I'll make him pay for the shit he's put me through..." Rex, hearing this conversation, says, "That's what happened to them isn't it? My parents. They were killed by this Mewtwo...." Kira explains as best he can to Rex that Mewtwo killed Spike and erased Flora's memories. But Kira also reassures him that they were strong, and amazing parents. Rex, rather than breaking down at the news of his parents, vows to become stronger - strong enough to make them proud. Kira then realizes that if what L said about Mewtwo's powers is true, then maybe Flora (and Blue) could regain her memories. L doesn't affirm or deny this speculation. But with this spark of hope, and with new and clearer goals in mind, the three of them set out to continue their journey.

Part 7

Kira challenges Morty, who is convinced that Kira's pokemon should die. (Side note: If you haven't figured it out by Silver's flashback, the order to go all out on Kira's team was a plot by Mewtwo to get Kira out of the picture. The character Mewtwo killed at the very beginning of Soul Silver was Lance. He stole Lance's identity and thus from this position of power he's able to exert more influence. The reason he's putting his scheme into motion from the sidelines and not simply going out and slaughtering everybody is - as L said - that he's part human. His power is slowly draining, so going out and wreaking havoc would only work for so much time before he's left vulnerable.)

Anyway, Kura and Fang manage to defeat Morty without much trouble. In the next few routes, Kira catches a raticate, magnemite, corsola, and krabby. The krabby, named Red, ends up joining the team (I needed a water type and he had Shell Armor, which definitely helps in Nuzlockes). However with this new team member, Kira now has seven pokemon in rotation (Sammy, Sparks, Rex, Fang, Venom, Kura, and Red). With the tension between Sammy and Sparks, the both of them offer to rotate out the most.

When Kira sees Silver in Olivine City, he asks again why he's siding with Mewtwo. To this, Silver simply responds, "For power." Kira tries to get more answers out of him, but L convinces Kira to just drop it. After Silver leaves, Kris brings up the question of what Mewtwo would need Silver for - it seems like someone as strong as him would be better off on his own. L reminds her that Mewtwo's power is only temporary, and that he's mostly likely trying to find a way to hold on to it.

At this point in the game itself, Sammy was falling behind in terms of levels, while Sparks was doing quite well, mainly because of the many water type opponents. In the story, this is also attributed to Sammy's state of mind because of his botched relationship with Sparks. While still outwardly cold toward her, deep down he's still in love with Sparks. Sparks begins to secretly feel the same way for Sammy, despite telling herself that he's a self-absorbed jerk. (Reminder that Sammy's characteristic in-game was "somewhat vain" - this attribute starts to show up more as Sammy gets stronger.) So Sparks just decides to keep quiet, convincing herself that loving him would be a mistake.

Part 8

Sparks evolves a level late after learning discharge (earlier as a flaaffy than she would as an ampharos). In-game I managed to beat Eusine, but he's not relevant to the story so the battle is skipped. Kira then battles Chuck who, like Bugsy, decides that he won't go all out against Kira. Fang and Sparks easily win the match. Kira realizes that though the next gym leader uses steel types, her ground-type steelix could cause problems for Sammy, and though Red would be effective his only water-type moves are special attacks, which he isn't good at. Rex offers to battle if he can evolve since he could then use ground-type moves. Kira says he'd need a moon stone for that, and he has no idea where to get one. L remarks that a normal-type gym might have some. Kira reluctantly decides to go to Goldenrod.

On the way there Red evolves, but Venom dies from sheer dumb luck, getting confused by a wild goldeen. The team pays their respects to him, but Kira doesn't let this set him back. Kira arrives in Goldenrod, but before he has a chance to inquire about a moon stone, Whitney approaches him and tells him that she wants to give their love another chance. Kira is skeptical and unsure at first, afraid of being abandoned yet again. To prove that she means it this time, Whitney tells him that her father offered her the position of full-time gym leader and she turned it down. She says that nothing will get in the way this time. Kira and Whitney have sloppy makeouts kiss (obviously not in front of L and Kris :V huehuehue~ I have no idea how I would have drawn this) After superhappyfunawkward introductions between the four of them, Whitney gives Kira a moon stone, which he uses to evolve Rex. (I actually got the stone from the Ruins of Alph.) The four of them go to Olivine for Kira's gym battle.

Part 9

Jasmine turns out to be one of the not-so-nice gym leaders out to kill Kira's team. Sammy easily defeats both of her magnemites. Kira sends out Rex against steelix, but it has such great defense that even dig does barely any damage. Rex takes a couple of screech attacks from steelix before it uses iron tail, which manages to defeat Rex in one hit. Jasmine congratulates her steelix for being able to kill one of the "infected" pokemon. Kira, of course, is struck to the core by this sudden turn of events and runs up to Rex to try and help him. (Meanwhile Red is sent out to battle steelix and manages to defeat it using surf.) As Rex is dying, he laments over his failure - as a teammate and as a son. Kira tells him to stop talking and reassures Rex that he was the best son Flora and Spike could have asked for, sticking through to the end and never giving up. "You are a fantastic son and a fantastic friend," Kira tells him, holding back tears, "And your parents would have been proud."

Part 10

Kira and his team bury Rex just outside of Olivine Beach and mourn the loss of their friend who has been with them since he was a baby. Whitney comforts Kira as memories of deaths from Sinnoh and Kanto return to him. But it isn't long before he remembers that he has to move on. He learns to deal with the pain - the pain first inflicted upon him when he was just an infant - the pain of loved ones leaving him.

The group sets out for Mahogany Town. A young girafarig named Duo happily joins the team, ready to "kick some bad guy butt". (I also caught the shiny gyarados, but he was only used as an HM slave.) It turns out Duo was referring to the Rockets hiding out in Mahogany. Kira and Whitney invade their HQ while L stays behind with Kris as she challenges the gym.

Kira and Whitney encounter Arianna, whom he recognizes from Slowpoke Well. He demands to know why they stole Rex. To his surprise, she actually answers, saying that she might as well tell him, seeing as they have a better plan. Rocket had heard about Kira and his pokemon's affliction, so they planned to nab one of Kira's pokemon and study it for themselves, seeing if they could use the affliction to their advantage. Unfortunately for them, Rex escaped before they could accomplish anything.

Before Rocket reinforcements can overwhelm Kira and Whitney, Lance arrives to help them out. After breaking through this wave of Rockets, he leads them to the generator room. Not knowing that Lance is Mewtwo but still suspicious, Kira inquires about his order to the gym leaders (he doesn't think the real Lance would do such a thing). Mewtwo pretends to play dumb, saying that he never gave such an order, and that he'll be sure to investigate this. Kira and Whitney are still suspicious but follow Lance anyway, figuring if he was going to pull anything funny he would have done it by now (and they can use both of their teams at once if need be). Once they reach the generator room, they discover that the transmitter is powered by a large group of electrodes.

Mewtwo, without saying a word, brings his plan into action. At this point he realizes that, with his draining power, he can no longer keep up the Lance charade. His solution is to kill two birds with one stone - feign his own death in an "accidental" explosion and kill Kira and Whitney in the explosion as well. Before Kira and Whitney realize they've been tricked, Mewtwo forces the electrodes to explode. Mewtwo saves himself by teleporting, and Kira and Whitney are saved by a reflect attack at the last minute. Their savior was L's espeon. L and Kris arrived just in time to save them and help them escape the rubble afterwards. L apologizes for staying behind - he didn't think things would get this messy. When Kira and Whitney explain what happened, L says that Lance must have been Mewtwo without a doubt.

Kira challenges Pryce. He says that he was given orders to do all that he can to ensure the defeat of Kira's pokemon. Though he is against killing pokemon, he says he will not disobey orders from a superior he trusts, especially Lance and especially one who died for a good cause. His pokemon go all out without hesitation, simply following the orders of their master. Luckily Sparks and Fang manage to win the match (Fang had a bit of trouble with piloswine, but otherwise it was fine). Afterwards, Pryce admits that he's grateful that Kira won and awards him with the Glacier Badge.

Kira catches a seel named Leo at some point between Mahogany and Goldenrod's radio tower. (In-game it was in the Whirl Islands, but that seems out of the way for the group. I don't know where he would get it in the story.) Also, Sammy evolves during a grinding session at some point in this period.

The group arrives in Goldenrod to a signal being transmitted from the radio tower. It isn't long before chaos breaks out as pokemon are forced from their pokeballs and being attacking their trainers. The group immediately begins storming the tower, figuring that Rocket is behind this. Soon all of the group's pokemon are forced out as well. Sammy, Jade (Kris's meganium), and L's pikachu don't turn hostile because they were out of their pokeballs already at the time of the transmission. So Sammy and Jade stay behind to hold off the rest of the pokemon, while pikachu and the four humans press further - looking for the mastermind behind this.

Leo unfortunately dies in the battle that ensues (in-game it was to a koffing's self-destruct in the tower). As Sammy and Jade try to hold off their former comrades (without killing any of Kira's pokemon), eventually Sammy and Sparks end up facing each other one-on-one. Sammy tries to talk some sense into Sparks, but she doesn't listen. He doesn't do much to fight back, so she soon gets him into a corner, ready to deliver the killing blow. "I'm sorry, Sparks!" Sammy cries out. Upon hearing this, Sparks pauses. Sammy apologizes for his treatment of her this whole time and says that he loves her. "I don't want us to fight, Sparks..." he says. Sparks begins to relax and then embraces Sammy. (And then Sammy x Sparks became canon /o/ )

After this superspecialawesomeadorablefeelsy moment, Jade tells them to go help Kira, saying she can manage by herself. Meanwhile, the group manages to find Archer, the head Rocket executive, who remarks about the wonders of pokeball technology (we can assume their visit to Azalea had yet another purpose). Pikachu, worn out from all the previous battles, has trouble with Archer's team. Sammy and Sparks show up just in time to help. The group is able to shut down the signal, returning all the affected pokemon to normal. As thanks for saving Goldenrod, the radio director gives Kira the Silver Wing.

Kira catches a weepinbell named Ivy on the way to Blackthorn. After a lot of grinding, she evolves into victreebell after learning razor leaf. Kira then challenges the final gym - it turns out that Clair is also following the orders of the deceased Lance. The first half of the battle goes fairly well. It isn't until the kingdra that things start getting difficult. Ivy starts out the battle, but dragon pulse does more damage to her than Kira anticipated. He switches to Fang, but after a long back-and-forth struggle between the two, kingdra kills Fang with a critical dragon pulse. Kira sends out Kura, who defeats kingdra thanks to confuse ray. She beats the remaining dragonair, winning Kira the battle. Clair regrets having to kill Fang but refuses to give Kira (or Kris) the Rising Badge. She adopts a conflicted look on her face and leaves for the Dragon's Den, muttering something about her brother and doing her duty. Unable to enter themselves to try and negotiate with her, the group has reached an impasse.

Part 11

Kira gets a call from Silver. He somehow knows of their situation, telling him to come to the Whirl Islands if he wants the badge. (Clair's refusal to give Kira the badge figured into Mewtwo's scheme. It turns out he bribed her, telling her that her brother Lance is not dead, and that he will bring him back to her if she lives up to her end of the deal. Clair was so torn by the loss of her brother that she accepted.) Kira is of course suspicious of this, but he has no other choice. The group meets up with Silver in the depths of one of the caves there. Silver lives up to his word and gives Kira the Rising Badge, but only in exchange for something else.

"What do you want in return?" Kira asks. "You've already given it to me," Silver replies as the cave rumbles. Kira's Silver Wing starts glowing, and the guardian of the seas emerges from the waterfall behind Silver. The group stares in awe at Lugia.

Silver sends out his feraligatr, Riptide, to battle the legendary beast. Realizing Silver is trying to capture Lugia, Kira sends out Sparks to try and defeat it before he can accomplish this, but the battle causes a rock slide that cuts the group off. Whitney is the only one left on the other side with Silver and Lugia. At this point, Riptide is about to deliver the final attack to incapacitate the beast. Before he can do so, Lugia prepares to fire an aeroblast directly at Silver. At the last moment, Whitney pushes him out of the way and takes the hit herself. The attack creates an opening in the rock wall and gives Riptide a chance to attack Lugia, leaving him vulnerable for Silver to catch.

Kira stares in hysteria at the decimated body of Whitney - the blast had killed her in an instant. L and Kris stand in horror, and Kira charges at Silver. Silver clutches the ball that had captured Lugia and teleports using an abra. For a moment before Silver vanishes, Kira sees him giving him a mournful look and mouthing the words, "I'm so sorry."

-------------------------------------

Kira returns from this loss stronger than he ever has, letting anger drive him, not sadness. At this point he has blocked out all the pain and focuses solely on his anger toward the one who has caused all this suffering - Mewtwo. He is sure he knows where Silver has gone - Indigo Plateau. And it is likely that Mewtwo is there also. He leaves L and Kris to go chase after Silver, saying this is something he has to do on his own.

He catches a slowpoke in Tohjo Falls and names her Aqua. She soon evolves into Slowking, but dies in an unfortunate grinding accident. Too slow to escape from a wild doduo, she is forced to switch, but pursuit kills her. Kira later catches a wild diglett named Terra. But just like Aqua, she dies not long after evolving (crit magnitude 8 from a geodude). Unshaken by these losses, Kira manages to press on and find an ursaring in Victory Road. Luna joins the team and becomes a valuable asset. After a lot of grinding, Kira's team is finally read to take on the Elite Four.

Kira defeats the Elite Four without much trouble at all. He warns them about Mewtwo and tells them to stay on guard should anything happen. When Kira reaches the Champion's room, he discovers that Silver has already made it. Mewtwo has given him Lance's team and forced them to obey him - this is the power that Silver has craved. Silver stands there silently as Kira lets out his anger in the battle. Kira's team wins with no losses.

After all is said and done, Silver explains that Whitney saved him back at the Whirl Islands, and he is forever grateful for that. He then apologizes for all he's had to put them through, stating that he's finally found the power he's been looking for - the power to do what is right. He opens the door behind him to reveal a laboratory - supposedly the HQ of Mewtwo the whole time he was posing as Lance - and more importantly, a weakened Mewtwo suspended in a large tube of liquid.

"Kill him," Silver says to Kira.

"Silver...you.." Kira replies in shock.

"Shut up and kill him! You've beaten me, now destroy that machine and end this."

Kira doesn't hesitate. He starts to send out Sammy and finish this once and for all....But he is knocked unconscious. Kira and Silver are both put to sleep by a vileplume, unaware that Karen has betrayed them. "Long live Rocket," she says as she takes Lugia's ball from Silver. She inserts the ball into the machine next to Mewtwo. "And long live its creation."

Mewtwo's form starts changing rapidly as the fusion process commences. His skin becomes paler, spikes protrude from his back, and he starts sprouting wings. The human-Mew-Lugia hybrid bursts out of its capsule, an aura of sheer power surrounding it.

It proclaims, "I....LIVE!"

Karen, Kira, and Silver are knocked back by this power. Before the creature can do any harm, Will arrives and teleports them to safety.

In the aftermath, Will explains what he saw to Kira and Silver. Since the creature has started wreaking havoc on Johto, Kira decides to travel Kanto, re-challenging the gym leaders in hopes of becoming strong enough to defeat....whatever Mewtwo has become. (It will simply be referred to as Mewtwo for the sake of convenience.) Silver decides to do this as well. Kira hasn't completely forgiven him, but he accepts his help regardless.

For this part of the story, Kira is mainly adding to his team and challenging gym leaders as quickly as he can (which luckily isn't much of a problem with Kura to fly around on), so there isn't much going on plotwise. Though Kira wonders what reason Mewtwo has for going to Johto - it seems he hasn't touched Kanto yet. He also remembers that he won't kill Mewtwo - his past self will. He wonders why this is.

Kira eventually defeats all the gyms in Kanto (in-game I also battled the Johto/Kanto gym leaders in rematches several times as well as the Elite Four again, but this is left out of the story). Notable catches and deaths are as follows:

-Luna died to Sabrina's Mr. Mime - psychic critical hit-Caught Quagsire named Mariner-Caught Snorlax named Ted-Mariner died to Whitney's Delcatty - psychic (assist) critical hit (Obviously in the story this would be a different cause, since (1) Whitney is dead and (2) Kira didn't battle the Johto leaders again.)-Duo died to Lance's Salamence - dragon claw critical hit (This would also be a different cause in the story.)

When Kira challenges Viridian's gym, he is shocked to see that Green is the gym leader. More important is his arcanine - Blue. However, neither of them recognize him due to their respective memory wipes. Kira is saddened by this but still happy to see that Blue is alive and well. He promises to himself that he'll come back for her as soon as this is over.

As Kira is training some more, he receives a note from a carrier pidgey. The anonymous note only reads, "Meet me at the top of Mt. Silver. It's time to test your strength."

Word of Blaze - Random Facts about the IJGS Universe

Trainers-Trainers are allowed to have a companion Pokemon with them, even if they have a team of 6, but use of this companion Pokemon in trainer battles is strictly prohibited.

Gyms/Pokemon League-Challengers are required to have all of their Pokemon inside their Pokeballs when they enter a gym. They have to stay in the Pokeballs unless they're battling. (This is why Rex wasn't with Kira when he challenged Falkner.)-Gym leaders are required to have type-based teams against challengers. These teams vary according to the challenger's rank (number of badges he/she has). So it is not necessary for challengers to follow the gym order in the games. In all other circumstances, gym leaders can use their regular teams. -If a current Champion has been affiliated with the Pokemon League long enough, he or she can give orders to the region's gym leaders (sometimes even the Elite 4) regarding the Pokemon League and its regulations.

Pokemon-The egg "mechanics" are not the same as those in the games. The species of the baby can be that of either the mother or the father (for example Rex, who was the same species as his father, Spike). Also, like real animals, some Pokemon give live birth while others lay eggs. Generally this is based on how closely the Pokemon resembles a mammal, reptile, bird, etc.-The Pokemon are not actually "speaking" in the normal sense of the word. After years and years of bonding with Pokemon, humans have evolved to the point that they can understand Pokemon as clearly as if they were speaking a human language. (Fun fact, in the next Nuzlocke I have planned, I don't think I'll show the Pokemon's speech in the comic, and instead I'll leave it up to you readers to figure it out ;D)-Sammy (and all Cyndaquil and some other Pokemon) was blind at birth, like many real animals. His eyesight didn't improve much until evolution, so he mostly relied on his other senses.
